Yard guys came across this dude while weed eating around some bushes in front yard. Damage was done before I went outside.

Looks like a water moccasin to me.

My initial guess is something in the Nerodia genus, maybe a yellow-bellied watersnake.

Harmless. Tell your Mexicans to hike up their skirts next time and vamanos.

Markings are too dry for me to see the pattern, but 100% non-venomous water snake.
ETA- My first guess would have been green water snake.

Definitely a water snake. Which kind is difficult to tell, given the fact that it needs to shed.

It's a baby anaconda. Due to global warming, they are advancing north from South America. We must reduce our carbon footprint.

Definitely NOT a cottonmouth. It's one of the nerodia genus of water snakes, which is a very confusing one for me. There's a lot of them, and most of them look fairly similar. Not knowing which ones you have wherever you are, I think the yellow-bellied, and green water snake comments are both possibilites. Just looking at it, I'd guess green water snake, but I don't know where you found it.
